SWEET CORN 
The first requisite for success with corn is acclimated seed — Note those with star. 
_ CULTURE—Prices paid for first early corn will pay the grower to take chances on early planting. 
For this planting use 4 to 5 seeds per hill and cover one inch deep. Space hills 28 to 36 inches, and rows 
314 feet, allowing two stalks to the hill or as some prefer, and we think this gives the best results, plant 
12 inches between hills, and thin to one stalk; this gives all the stalks an even show. April 1 to May 1 
is a good season for early corn, of course, depending on the weather. 
May 15th to 25th is good for the 
later sorts, as they do not resist damp, cold weather as well as the early sorts. * 
Corn will not fill well unless the patch planted is blocked out; those planting small quantities 
should make the patch square, or nearly so. This will permit the pollen to blow down on the silk, 
fertilizing the ears. Early corn may be planted in succession up to July 5. Use Victory Garden fertilizer.

*GILL’S EARLY GOLDEN SWEET—Earliest of 
the golden varieties. Ears average about the same

variety we have tested. The best and earliest high 
quality first early sort. Our own introduction. 
*GILL’S IMPROVED GOLDEN BANTAM— 
Superior to the original Golden Bantam in quality 
and nearly twice the size, also one week earlier. 
Nearly all ears carry 12 rows of deep, rich golden 
yellow kernels set close upon the cob. Do not com- 
pare this with the original strain, as it is far 
superior in every respect, and any gardener who 
places this corn on the market will command 
better sales and prices. 
It has no superior for market, table, canning or 
drying. Remember, we are the originators of this 
improved strain and continue our careful stock 
seed selections each year. If you wish the up-to- 
date selection buy direct from us. We have re- 
ceived many letters of praise for this corn and 
many of our customers will have nothing else. We 
consider this the best quality of any sweet corn to 
date. It represents over 30 years of careful selec- 
tion by ourselves directed toward better quality.

and larger than Golden Sunshine. It is the outstand- 
ing early corn and is a money-maker for gardeners. 
For home use or market, be sure to plant this 
variety. It matures about a week earlier than Im- 
proved Golden Bantam. Large, golden ears, tightly 
filled with large sweet grains ot hign quatity.
